About 0UQLXZZ

0UQLXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the vestibular gland using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on Bartholin's gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (71.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0UQGXZZ (vagina), 0UQJXZZ (clitoris), 0UQKXZZ (hymen) and 0UQMXZZ (vulva).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UQL0ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
